Western Australia's Coral Coast houses some of the oceans most breathtaking and astounding sites.

Western Australia, abbreviated as WA, is the largest state in Australia. It occupies one third of the entire country. Despite it being such a massive part of the country, Western Australia only accounts for 11% of the total Australian population. Most of the state is scarcely populated, so much so that a whopping 92% of the inhabitant live in the south-west corner.

This costal area of the south-western region has an agreeable Mediterranean climate and is home to one of the world’s tallest trees, the Karris. By contrast we have the north-western region which is where you can find one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Ningaloo Reef. This reef is not only Australia’s largest fringing coral reef, it is also the only large reef that is incredibly close to a landmass.

WHY WE LOVENingaloo reef/western australia

The scenery and diverse wildlife found in Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef makes the location bucket list worthy. Within the area you will find the world’s largest fish: the Whale Shark. It’s no wonder Ningaloo Reef is listed as a World Heritage Site. Swimming in the reef’s waters will transport you to a different world filled with color, mystery, and extraordinary diversity.

At Ningaloo you can swim with amazing creatures like; dolphins, sea lions, manta rays, dugongs and humpback whales. Ocean currents are what give the reef such a special ecosystem for it is where cool currents from the south meet with warmer currents from the north. This type of environment allows for a unique mix of tropical and subtropical species to thrive.
